Love Is a Sweet Addiction

She returned to her bedroom. Now, she could loosen up herself and didn’t need to put fake smiles on her face.

And now she started to feel pain all over her body.

She brought some clean clothes with her to the bathroom. In front of the mirror, she carefully took off her dress and checked her wounds. There were wounds all over. But they weren’t too bad, and would recover in a few days.

However, the palm print on her face looked embarrassing, which made what happened to her obvious.

Bearing the pain, she washed herself up and changed into clean clothes. Then she lay down on her bed and called her mother to check if she was OK. Knowing that she wasn’t punished by her grandma, she felt relaxed.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She closed her eyes and was about to take a nap.

Esther took a long nap in the afternoon, which caused her a sleepless night.

The scenes at her home today kept on playing on her mind. She wasn’t surprised by the indifference of her grandma and sister. Even if her grandma broke her leg today, was nothing new to her.

However, the gloating look on James’ face made her feel desperate. She wondered why she would fall for him back in time.

If it weren’t for Terence, she would still be kneeling in front of the main house at this time.

Thinking about Terence, she remembered what Anne had said before.

Terence would rather ask his assistant to rescue her than came with her to her home. Was it because he was bad-looking or he was too sick to go out?

Last night, when he forced himself on her, he was clearly not a weak man. Then, the reason must be his look.

People couldn’t choose how they look, except for disfigured or born with terrible birth marks, it shouldn’t be too bad to go out and meet people.

Maybe he had terrible birthmark on his face. Or was disfigured.

The more she thought about it, the more curious she became, and wanted to know the truth. She totally gave up on sleeping.

She got up from her bed and walked towards the backyard.

At first, she was quite relaxed. But the closer she was to the backyard, the more timid she became. Lauren once told her that Terence didn’t like to be disturbed. Most importantly, he was a man with a strange disease. What would he think about her when she came to him in the middle of the night?

What should she do if he wanted her? Or, what if he was having a relapse like last time she met him?

She stopped and was about to return to her own room. After all, it didn’t matter whether he looked good or bad.

Now they kept distance and lived their separate lives. This was good enough and it was better go on this way.

But she was already close to his door. It wouldn’t hurt if she just peeped through the door for once. Then, she could go as if nothing ever happened and go on with their separated lives.

OK. Just took a quick look at him!

Then, Esther walked straight to the Parasol Tree Garden.

Since it was middle of the night, most of the lights there were turned off. It was a little dim there.
